NETWORK FINALS: Both MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL cities showed the game on ABC stations, which is why the network’s numbers plunged after adjustment: HAPPY NEW YEAR, CHARLIE BROWN down 0.4, RUDOLPH’S SHINY NEW YEAR down 0.6, and THE GREAT AMERICAN BAKING SHOW down 0.6. Elsewhere, the KEVIN CAN WAIT rerun lost 0.1 but the SCORPION rerun rose 0.1 in final numbers.

MITCH METCALF has been tracking every US film release of over 500 screens (over 2300 movies and counting) since the storied weekend of May 20, 1994, when Maverick and Beverly Hills Cop 3 inspired countless aficionados to devote their lives to the art of cinema. Prior to that, he studied Politics and Economics at Princeton in order to prepare for his dream of working in television. He has been Head of West Coast Research at ABC, then moved to NBC in 2000 and became Head of Scheduling for 11 years.
